The Evangel School of Urban Church Planting Our Evangel School of Urban Church Planting trains church planters to plant healthy churches among the city’s poor, applying biblical wisdom in order to effectively evangelize, equip, and empower unreached city folk to respond to the love of Christ, and take their place in representing Christ’s Kingdom where they live and work. The Evangel School provides a tool for urban churches, denominations, and mission agencies to host a contextualized church plant school in their city or region for those God has called to plant churches among the urban poor. The Evangel School Boot Camp includes a team assessment and an application process which helps to confirm that the planter has the calling, character, and competence required of a church planter working among the poor. Evangel Coaches come alongside the church planters and their teams to listen and cooperate with the Holy Spirit to see that their vision becomes a reality.

Ripe for Harvest: A Guidebook for Planting Healthy Churches in the City is the official textbook of the Evangel School.

Front Matters: Prerequisite Readings for the Evangel School of Urban Church Planting contains all readings and assignments each church planter must complete before attending the Evangel School.

Planting Churches among the City’s Poor: An Anthology of Urban Church Planting Resources is a two-volume set which represents World Impact’s research, dialogue, and insight on church planting.
